Welcome, @dwgksr. You'll notice that I moved your question about Diastasis Recti to this discussion

I did this so you can connect with @sash as well as @lisag03 @rt061069 and @musicbart who have experience with diastasis recti.
The condition isn’t limited to pregnancy. It can affect anyone, including newborn babies and men. In some cases, it can result from lifting heavy weights incorrectly or performing excessive or unsafe abdominal exercises.
I'm sorry to hear that your insurance labels surgery as cosmetic. Have you considered working with a physio therapist to see if targeted exercises may help in your situation?

Thank you for the information. My insurance didn't say it but rather, a surgeon in my Dr's office made the statement about it being cosmetic. I see my surgeon on Wednesday. I have no doubt the surgeries caused the weakness in my stomach muscles. I am struggling with cramping, sometimes shortness of breath and overall uncomfortable.
